[Verse 1]
I gave my strength
For years, like an ox, I pushed
And for years, like a ship, I sank
To the bottom of that unknown sea
[Verse 2]
I'm still learning to be free and not so somber
Every night, I stay up a little longer
Searching on that field of stars
Do you know who you are?
Can you dig up my tree?
Can you find what's inside of me?
Find the origin of my defeat
[Chorus]
In the beginning, I was all dreams
Times have changed
I'm no longer the same
[Verse 3]
I don't want you to leave
It's so bittersweet
That this is the time you met me
I'm going through a long phase
I don't try to relate
I don't really try to find someone to sedate me
Hard out for remedy, it's so bittersweet
You and me
[Chorus]
In the beginning, I was all dreams
Times have changed
I'm no longer the same
[Verse 4]
Every day's a lesson in giving away
Stripes on my floor
Dark shots at my door
Have you ever walked in on a queen before?
I just went through the valley
I know it's changed me
Fire from eternity
The origin of my dreams
[Chorus]
In the beginning, I was all dreams
Time caught up with me
Now I can finally see
